1 τα τεκνα υπακουετε τοις γονευσιν υμων εν κυριω· τουτο γαρ εστιν δικαιον. 2 τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα, ητις εστιν εντολη πρωτη εν επαγγελια, 3 ινα ευ σοι γενηται και εση μακροχρονιος επι της γης. 4 και οι πατερες μη παροργιζετε τα τεκνα υμων, αλλ εκτρεφετε αυτα εν παιδεια και νουθεσια κυριου. 5 οι δουλοι υπακουετε τοις κυριοις κατα σαρκα μετα φοβου και τρομου εν απλοτητι της καρδιας υμων ως τω χριστω, 6 μη κατ οφθαλμοδουλιαν ως ανθρωπαρεσκοι, αλλ ως δουλοι [του] χριστου, ποιουντες το θελημα του θεου εκ ψυχης, 7 μετ ευνοιας δουλευοντες [ως] τω κυριω και ουκ ανθρωποις, 8 ειδοτες οτι ο εαν τι εκαστος ποιηση αγαθον, τουτο κομιειται παρα του κυριου, ειτε δουλος ειτε ελευθερος. 9 και οι κυριοι τα αυτα ποιειτε προς αυτους, ανιεντες την απειλην, ειδοτες οτι και υμων αυτων ο κυριος εστιν εν ουρανοις, και προσωποληψια ουκ εστιν παρ αυτω. 10 το λοιπον, αδελφοι μου, ενδυναμουσθε εν κυριω και εν τω κρατει της ισχυος αυτου. 11 ενδυσασθε την πανοπλιαν του θεου προς το δυνασθαι υμας στηναι προς τας μεθοδειας του διαβολου· 12 οτι ουκ εστιν ημιν η παλη προς αιμα και σαρκα, αλλα προς τας αρχας, προς τας εξουσιας, προς τους κοσμοκρατορας του σκοτους του αιωνος τουτου, προς τα πνευματικα της πονηριας εν τοις επουρανιοις. 13 δια τουτο αναλαβετε την πανοπλιαν του θεου, ινα δυνηθητε αντιστηναι εν τη ημερα τη πονηρα και απαντα κατεργασαμενοι στηναι. 14 στητε ουν περιζωσαμενοι την οσφυν υμων εν αληθεια, και ενδυσαμενοι τον θωρακα της δικαιοσυνης, 15 και υποδησαμενοι τους ποδας εν ετοιμασια του ευαγγελιου της ειρηνης, 16 επι πασιν αναλαβοντες τον θυρεον της πιστεως, εν ω δυνησεσθε παντα τα βελη του πονηρου τα πεπυρωμενα σβεσαι· 17 και την περικεφαλαιαν του σωτηριου δεξασθε, και την μαχαιραν του πνευματος, ο εστιν ρημα θεου,— 18 δια πασης προσευχης και δεησεως, προσευχομενοι εν παντι καιρω εν πνευματι, και εις αυτο τουτο αγρυπνουντες εν παση προσκαρτερησει και δεησει περι παντων των αγιων, 19 και υπερ εμου, ινα μοι δοθη λογος εν ανοιξει του στοματος μου, εν παρρησια γνωρισαι το μυστηριον του ευαγγελιου, 20 υπερ ου πρεσβευω εν αλυσει, ινα εν αυτω παρρησιασωμαι ως δει με λαλησαι. 21 ινα δε ειδητε και υμεις τα κατ εμε, τι πρασσω, παντα υμιν γνωρισει τυχικος ο αγαπητος αδελφος και πιστος διακονος εν κυριω, 22 ον επεμψα προς υμας εις αυτο τουτο, ινα γνωτε τα περι ημων και παρακαλεση τας καρδιας υμων. 23 ειρηνη τοις αδελφοις και αγαπη μετα πιστεως απο θεου πατρος και κυριου ιησου χριστου. 24 η χαρις μετα παντων των αγαπωντων τον κυριον ημων ιησουν χριστον εν αφθαρσια· αμην.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 6:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Ephesians (Homily XXI)

    As a man in forming a body, places the head first, after that the neck, then the feet, so does the blessed Paul proceed in his discourse. He has spoken of the husband, he has spoken of the wife, who is second in authority, he now goes on by gradual advances to the third rank--which is that of children.

  2. Quotes verse 6:16 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 22–27)

    For we hear also of the shield of faith, "wherewith," says the apostle, "ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." Nor ought we, on the other hand, in regard to spiritual armor of this kind to assign faith to the shield only; for we read in another place of the breastplate of faith: "putting …

  3. Quotes verse 6:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    Yes, for a grievous conflict is at hand, and against the powers unseen is our wrestling; against "the spiritual wickednesses" our fight, "against principalities, against powers" our warfare: and it is well for us, if when we are earnest and sober and thoroughly awakened, we can be able to sustain that savage phalanx.

  4. Quotes verse 6:16 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    … watch not; but, since the enemy is unseen, we have faith as our strong armour, according to the saying of the Apostle, In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

  5. Quotes verse 6:10 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters VII–VIII)

    … true, says, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." But in a phrase of this kind there is no suggestion of any lowly and subordinate ministry, but rather of the succour rendered "in the power of his might." For He Himself has bound the strong man and spoiled his goods, that is, us …
